Ethiopia Vacations

Ethiopia is one of the oldest countries in the world and offers plenty of historical sites, such as Lalibela which has 11 amazing rock-hewn churches. The Tigray Monastaries are another incredible place to visit, but not for the faint-hearted; they are carved out of rock and spread out along the cliff-face and some are reached by ladders. The country’s capital, Addis Abada has museums, palaces, churches and art galleries waiting to be explored. It also has a lot of markets, shopping malls, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. You can go to the races on the city’s racecourse or play a game of golf. Go hiking or horse riding in the National Parks of Bale and Simen Mountains and take a boat ride on Lake Chamo which boasts 40 natural springs, crocodiles, hippos and pelicans.
